as title as of lack of funds/badluck escort is back up and running split no3 liner on last outing at timeattack brands hatch, so i purchased silky 16v's cosworth engine out of his bmw e30,

spec of engine now is standard head, cams, pistons, rods, grp a h/gasket on stetch bolts with my swedish plenum bolted on side 1000cc injectors motec management coil pack etc,gt 30/40 turbo remote wastegate running 1.5bar boost mapped last weekend at motec must say picks up mint,

prize for the one who gets it spot on is a mars bar plus set of rear 30lb helper springs in red

Sorry to hear about the new engine (it seems to have been nothing but trouble for you ! ). What is Simon going to do about all the issues, as you have invested loads in it, and I remember you posting about the warranty on it?

rs4steve

mike had the engine inspected; block has split on no3; simon didn't supply block so no can do'
im doing 1 last trackday at donny on 21st then car is having all grp a taken off,then going back to standard running gear with this new standard engine to make a cheap trackday escort, im leaving all cage seats harnesses wrc kit on so will still look the part,

"anyway just seen your car in martin's workshop asleep"

rs4steve

o yes it will its on the trailer tax is up no way im driving it with my luck this year it will a case of

"o hello mr fitz fancy seeing u again how fast do u think u were doing this time, oh no tax as well "

"happydays officer"

about 430-440ftlbs TQ before it surges its tits off and you have to cap the boost dramatically.

Who did supply the block? I suppose now you know why I only get the engine done by one person, as then that one person can't use any "get-out" clauses .

So what did they attribute the cracking to? I remember seeing your original posts where you were saying the engine was nearly 9.0:1 compression - surely that has to be a contributory factor? Is Simon not prepared to help you out in anyway to see the engine running to it's true potential?

SortedCossie

not sure of power, will be good to see what it produces though

i'll be there tomorrow too, running my escort.

glad to hear engine has gone together ok, will be good to hear what power she makes

hope everything was satisfactory with the engine i sold ya

rs4steve

u are correct in what you say but im having a break from cosworths for a while going to take up fishing
everythings gotta go been working my tits off to catch up on for the time ive spent on car,the money ive lost in earnings is ridiculous totally had enough engines in and out, gearboxes in and out,
im going for something newer and definetly a less maintenance car

rs4steve

hi silky engine was fine except for a sticking/noisy lifter replaced not a problem
out of all the engines ive bought/had built this has got highest oil pressure spot on

Magic Numbers

350

rs4steve

ryan no surge/no lag had it remapped by motec had more fuel put in below 3000rpm and some taken out above 6500rpm+ pointless revving any higher must be the quickest 0-60, 0-100 car ive owned it takes no prisoners off the lights who needs low/high comp keep it 8.0-1

rs4steve

cossie4i+

iTrader: (15)

All cossie running gear

It does peak about 25psi midrange and drops down to about 21-22psi at the limiter.

oh wasn't aware of that only minor though like you said,
I don't do rebuilds by halfs mate if ya gonna do it once and once only it does have a HP 5bar 4x4 pump fitted

hope it make the power ya want should be good torque too due to it retaining standard comp ratio

This is the power it made on a 4x4 manifold T34 (0.63) msd chip, greens & 3 bar & straight threw 3" exhaust system (loud)
